ROME, March 9. I'm an interview to day
Cardinal Gibbons said that his and Mgr.
Strauiero's reports, although published
through wonderful stroke Of newspaper
enterprise, were in the first instance con.
fidential. The cardinal said: 81 am and
ever shall be an enemy of plutocracy OF
soulless corporations and men. The
Catholic church will take the side of the
weaker against the stronger in this in
stance. There is no question OF secret
societies. Mr.. Powderly and many other
chiefs are good Catholics. Above all,
wish it to be known that there is no essen-
tial divergence between myself and the
Archbishop of Canada on this subject.
French Canadian society is not that Of the
United States, and perhaps the French
ecclesiastic or administrative mind Is
more inclined to take ALARM than we, and
to see revolutions behind every hedge

Of the skin cannot be determined. In ons Of

l am pleased to state that the law In
regard to collection and registration Of
vital statistics is being observed in each
OF the counties. The reports of marriages
In Kent and Sussex counties for the past
lo months received are full and complete,
and great improvement Ia shown in the
reports Of births and deaths. Tie record
OF births In the city of Wilmington was
commenced July lst, 1851, and by the
publication of the law through the prese.
and the distribution Of circulars, and
reference to the subject published in
the press urging the people to
comply with the law, the births have ex-
ceeded the deaths each year since. Now
our people are anxious to have the births
recorded. The school-honse is the place
TO impart this information by small cir.
culars showing the people it is their right
and for the benefit of the child in the
future that its name be recorded. The
undertaken Is responsible for the return
OF a death certificate. The clergy are
prompt in reporting marriages..
The drainage of marsh and swamp
lands, is Of importance to our people.
There are many acres of marsh and
swamp lands in our State II properly
drained and cultivated would produce 40
bushels of corn or one and a-half tons OF
hay per acre. The experience OF the
state Of Michigan and OF England and
Holland has proved in the most conclu.
sive manner that drainage and the iutro.
duetion of agricultural improvements
the greatest changes may be effected in
the health of district, and thnt
It Is quite possible to have
luxuriant crops produced on the same
soil where formerly noxious vapors
abounded and impregnated the inhabi.
tants with disease and death. In order
that the Board of Health may be able to
prosecute the work before them, and
which is so much needed in every part Of
the State, we ask you, gentleman, to give
us liberal appropriation, OF least six pei

it with the solicitude of mother. The
latter arrived yesterday week and was
almost heart-broken at her infants un
timely death. The body was taken to
